Insomniac

I'd like to go to sleep
For only but a week
To see what the world would do.

No I wouldn't be dead
Though it's not something I dread
If I laid on my eternal bed

If I slept like a rock
And never woke up to the cock-a-doodle-doo of the rooster
Would the world be different, yet the same

But I'll never know
For sleep is what I lack
So was the life of a sleep insomniac
